Chapter 2 — A Pregnant Concubine Stormed the Palace, Her Mother Told Her Ears: Do You Know Who My Daughter-in-law Is?

The mother's eyes suddenly turned cold, she turned to the housekeeper next to her and shouted loudly.

"What are you still standing there for? Drag this crazy person out!"

“If you dirty my lady's eyes, I will blame you all!”

The housekeeper seemed to have just woken up from a dream and immediately called two strong ladies. The two women advanced, one left and one right, holding Lieu Nhu Yen. Lieu Nhu Yen struggled frantically.

"Co Thua An! Say something! You promised me!"

“You said you would retire from that business woman!”

"Say she's just a ladder for you to climb!"

"It's disgusting for you to even touch her a little bit!"

It turns out that's it. It turns out that's the case. I always thought that he just didn't love me. I didn't expect you to hate me this much. In the hall, the pitying eyes, the watching eyes, made me feel like I was sitting on a pile of needles. Co Thua An's face turned from pale to pale white. He rushed forward, not for me, but to silence Lieu Nhu Yen.

"Shut up! Quickly take her down!"

He almost screamed. Lieu Nhu Yen was dragged away, the sound became farther and farther away, leaving only a pitiful cry. A solemn birthday party turned into a complete farce. The guests stood up one by one to say goodbye, with a look of confusion and scrutiny on their faces. I stood up and mechanically saw off the guests. Every person's eyes that look at me carry pity. That's right, it's Lady Thi Lang. Another prostitute exposed the truth in front of everyone that her husband did not love her. How sad it is. Soon, there was only the three of us left in the vast hall. Along with a messy ground. The old lady sat back in her chair, picked up the teacup, and blew gently.

“Thua An, follow me into the study room.”

She put down the teacup, stood up, and walked straight into the inner hall. Co Thua An looked at me with complicated eyes. He didn't say a word and followed behind his mother. I stood alone in the empty hall. Around us, candlelight flickered, lengthening our shadows. Like falling into an ice tunnel. I returned to my courtyard and dismissed all my servants. Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the delicate face without a trace of blood in the bronze mirror. Tham Nguyet Khanh ah Tham Nguyet Khanh. You thought that three years of gentleness and kindness could be exchanged for his sincerity. Turns out, you are just a stepping stone for him to step into the blue clouds. Now he has settled down in Thi Lang, his wings are stiff. This stepping stone naturally became an eyesore. I don't know how much time passed...the door was pushed open. Co Thua An walked in carrying a smell of alcohol. He walked up behind me, looking at my reflection in the mirror.

“Nguyet Khanh, what happened today is my fault.”

He opened his mouth, his voice a bit hoarse. I didn't turn my head, just gently asked.

“Where is wrong?”

"Wrong... I shouldn't have let Nhu Yen come and cause trouble."

He stopped for a moment and then spoke. I burst out laughing. Laughed so much that tears almost came out. His mistake was just not taking good care of the women outside. Let her disgrace him, the Co family's maid. It's not wrong that he deceived me, took advantage of me, and hated me.

“She is pregnant with your child.” I narrate.

"Right." he did not deny it.

“She said you promised her the position of mother-in-law.”

Co Thua An was silent for a moment.

“That was… after you got pregnant, your mood was unstable, I comforted you said so.”

Coax her. Speak softly.

“So the phrase ‘the slightest touch of me feels disgusting’, is also a coaxing word?”

I finally turned my head and looked straight into his eyes. His eyes avoided, not daring to face me.

“Nguyet Khanh, I…”

“Co Thua An.” I interrupted him.

“Three years ago, when you were in decline, it was my father who took out 100,000 taels of white silver to help you reconnect.”

“In these three years, the Tham family has taken care of so many relationships for you, paved so many roads, you know it in your heart.”

“Now that you have successfully succeeded, do you want to kick my Tham family away with one kick?”

My voice is not loud, but every word is clear. Co Thua An's face became even more unsightly.

“I don't have it! Nguyet Khanh, don't think nonsense."

"The kindness of the Tham family, I don't dare forget in this life."

“So what are you going to do?” I asked.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made some determination.

"That Nhu Yen... is innocent after all, and the child in her womb is even more my flesh and blood."

“I can't let her wander outside.”

"I want... I want to arrange Nhu Yen in the palace, at Thanh Phong garden, so that Nhu Yen can safely raise her baby."

After he finished speaking, he looked at me cautiously. Wait for me to nod. Wait for me like the past three years, understanding and generous. I looked at him and suddenly felt extremely confused. He just made me lose face and become the laughingstock of the entire capital. Now, he wants me to nod and let him welcome that woman into the palace. My palace door. What does he rely on? I stood up. The skirt of the phoenix fairy's skirt gently glided across the ground, without a sound. Co Thua An thought that I had implicitly accepted it.

“Nguyet Khanh, I know you are the most kind and generous person.”

He took a step forward, wanting to hold my hand. I leaned away to avoid it. His hand stiffened in midair, his expression a bit awkward.

"It's late, husband, please come back."

My voice is very calm. So calm that it doesn't look like someone who just went through an extremely humiliating moment. Co Thua An was stunned.

“Nguyet Khanh, what do you mean?”

“We'll stay here tonight.”

“What about Nhu Yen…”

“I said, please come back.”

I emphasized my tone, looking at him with cold eyes.
